"Disability does not mean inability. It simply means adaptability."
YOGI BHAJAN
Yogi Bhajan was born in India, in Punjab, to a Sikh family in 1929. In 1968 he brought Kundalini Yoga to Canada and the USA, because he knew that this technology would be the most effective way to heal the body and mind of young people, the flower children, putting them in touch with the divine. In this way they could go "beyond" instead of going "out," and without side effects or problems with the law. Their souls wanted to be awakened.
From the very beginning he made it clear that his work was not intended for students, he had come to train teachers. He often told us: "Do not love me, love my teachings," and in this way he managed to touch the hearts of thousands of people. In his first conference in the United States in January 1969, he affirmed his unwavering conviction that it is every human being's birthright to be "Healthy, Happy, and Holy."
Yogi Bhajan dedicated himself to growing the Kundalini Yoga community worldwide as a true family of people who not only lived with each other, but for each other. At the end of the 1970s he came to Italy where we met him and learned from him the humanitarian approach to Yoga, to be shared with purity of heart, in service to humanity.
Yoga means Union, and he always reminded us that in Kundalini Yoga it is not essential to perfectly perform postures and movements, but it is the spirit that resides in the practitioner that must be perfectly pure, connected with one's inner light, and united with the Whole.
